Eh, I would have sympathized with Obi-Wan anyway. Obi-Wan's choice was to either leave Anakin that way, assuming he would be dead in a few minutes anyway, or climb down that bank and finish the job, risking the likelihood of catching himself on fire.

As far as the younglings scene, I've only watched it once and that was more than enough so I can't go back and check on this, but I've been told that he had a tear in his eye before he entered the Council chambers; someone posted a picture of it not too long ago, maybe on the temp boards.

The tears after the Separatist slaughter worked for me. It showed that Anakin really didn't want to go that route but as I mentioned in another thread, he was so overwhelmed by fear that the fear trumped everything else, and therefore he would do literally anything Palpatine asked.

Doesn't make it OK, if I were on a jury that tried him, I would certainly vote to convict...but that's where Anakin was.

Cannot see one

I love that scene. It's the reason I enjoyed RotS more than the rest of the PT.

That scene could've used some better set up, as in, two and a half films detailing a more complex journey into the dark side. Once won over to the dark side around the end of the second film (but not yet a Sith) have Anakin endure some actual Sith training under Sidious (like Empire with Luke/Yoda) only to have his final test be killing all the younglings at the end of the third film, before his fight with OB1. That would've worked. Oh well.
